Default SoundGate LOC 4.2 and stock Pioneer System

I have the stock pioneer system in my IS350. I am adding and aftermarket amp and subwoofer. I'd like to do the install my self, but I'm not sure where to tap into the amp to connect the LOC I have.

The LOC is the Soundgate LOC 4.2:


and here is a picture of the rear of the stock amp:


So where do I tap it in?

That was helpful, but I was hoping someone knew exactly which color wire taps into which.

read the thread over again, I specified which wire to tap into. I see that you have the Pioneer amp, on that amp there are two set of wires for the sub. Brown(+) Lime Green(-) & Pink(+) Sky Blue(-), I don't have the pioneer amp so I am not sure which set of wire to tap to though.

Why don't you just snip the wires going into the factory sub and tap your LOC there? That is how my last 2 installs were done. That way when you are ready to pull it out all you have to do is resoldier the wires at the factory sub.

Would that be the same as tapping them near the amplifier?

It might be technically the same but definately easier to identify the exact wires if you tap at the sub. Just my $.02
